Unit 1A BME

In this unit, the focus is on the role of business in Australia. Most people have had consumer experiences, whether it is using a mobile phone, watching TV or paying for and using other goods and services. Therefore, learning contexts are selected that tap into these interests and build upon this informal understanding. Different perspectives on the contribution of business to society are considered.

Unit 1B BME

In this unit, the focus is on contexts related to initiative and inspiration, which are the values of the dynamic and imaginative entrepreneur or business manager. Opportunities are provided to explore business start-ups and to recognise the factors that contribute to business success. Entrepreneurship and innovative thinking are introduced, generating ideas and proposals that may be suitable for business ventures. These proposals are then developed into a business plan.
